When the large steam ships start, they emit thick black smoke that can be seen from a long distance, but Ang Lee's fleet is too far away from the pirate ships to reveal their location.

The main fleet was retreating in turn, and although some people had doubts in their hearts, as long as it was an order, they would obey it unconditionally, and they never dared to bargain with Li An.

The five steam gunboats, which had been ordered to make a detour, were also speeding due south to reach their positions as soon as possible, quietly detouring back to the rear of the pirate ship.

Ang Lee's ship has multi-magnification binoculars, so even if the ship evacuates much faster than the pirate ship's advance, it will not be out of sight.

Holding the fixed large-aperture fifty-fold telescope, Li An began to carefully observe the pirate ship to figure out the specific situation of the pirate ship, because it was too far away, so he could only see the general outline of the pirate ship and the dense pirates, but he couldn't see the specific faces of the pirates, and even the number of pirates was not easy to judge, but these are not important, as long as you know the general situation of the pirates, it will be complete if you can successfully annihilate them.

"Big brother, ten pirate ships are rushing towards us, is it that the wolf has betrayed us?"

Li Feiyu frowned and asked.

Li An shook his head and said: "Wolf Yi knows our strength very well, if he really betrays us, the black wolf still dares to send people to Rising Sea Island, isn't this sending us to death?" It is estimated that the wolf is inexperienced, or the black wolf is too cunning, and has discovered the abnormality, so he sent a team of people to Rising Sea Island to continue to investigate the situation. ”

Li Feiyu said: "The eldest brother is right, the black wolf is quite cunning, and he actually found some clues, so in this way, the plan we made for the wolf is not the possibility of bankruptcy, in this way, the wolf will be in danger." ”

Li An smiled faintly: "It depends on their own wisdom, Wolf Yi and the forward battalion were originally pirates, what does it matter if they lose a little, they will not affect the overall situation if they are all killed." ”

"Big brother, I'm worried that their mission will fail, which will affect our established plan to completely eradicate the pirates."

Li Feiyu said.

Li An waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, as long as our elite soldiers and horses land in Malacca, the pirates' good days will come to an end, Wolf One's plan is just for perfection, even if there is no plan implemented by Wolf One, we won't spend much time, at most it will be delayed for a few days." ”

"Haha! What the eldest brother said is that we are invincible, and it depends on the wolf how well the task is carried out, so we don't worry about him. ”

Li Feiyu said with a smile.

Li An nodded, held the telescope, continued to observe for a while, and then rested on the chair with confidence.

Another small detachment of five steam gunboats, after arriving a few dozen miles due south, immediately stopped sailing and stayed where they were, in order to avoid being detected by the pirates, so that there would be no black smoke, and the pirates would not be able to detect it as long as they were not too close.

They waited until the pirate ship appeared in their northeast direction, then reactivated the power system and headed straight for the pirate ship's back.

"There's smoke in the southwest."

At the top of the pirate ship, a pirate in charge of observation suddenly noticed smoke coming from the southwest, and was immediately startled, and hurriedly reported the situation to the pirate leader.

The little leader climbed up and looked, and was immediately frightened, a large number of black smoke columns appeared on the sea surface for no reason, this is a very unusual phenomenon, if there is only one black smoke column, he can judge that the dragon in the distance absorbs water, but more than ten smoke columns are not easy to explain with this phenomenon, but the ignorant pirates have not seen this dense smoke column, and they can't come up with other explanations, so they have to think that it is a large dragon water absorption phenomenon.

"More than ten dragon pillars, it's terrifying, the brothers who were killed before probably encountered this!"

"That's right, otherwise they would all be killed, they are all good hands in the sea!"

"I've seen at most three dragons before, but this time there are more than ten dragons, so let's run away!"

"What to do? Let's get out of the way! If you are entangled by these dragon pillars, you will not be able to escape. ”

The little pirates on the ten ships were all frightened, they walked on the sea all year round, and whenever they saw the phenomenon of dragons absorbing water, they would choose to avoid the tragedy of shipwrecks and deaths.

At this moment, they saw more than a dozen dragons absorbing water, and their hearts were naturally even more frightened, and they wanted to hide in the port immediately.

"Don't be nervous, the dragon is moving in the direction of due north, not exactly in our direction, as long as we speed up, we will definitely be able to avoid the dragon absorbing water, and all the ships will accelerate forward to avoid disaster."

The small boss gave the order for all the pirate ships to speed up towards the Rising Island.

All this happened under the nose of the Tang Army, and the officers and men of the Tang Army clearly saw everything that happened in the distance through the high-powered telescope, and immediately reported it.

"Big brother, it's so interesting, after our small detachment detoured the pirate ship, the pirate ship not only did not retreat and escape, but also accelerated to our main fleet, which clearly showed that it was a self-defeating net!"

Li Feiyu happily reported.

Li An was slightly surprised, picked up the binoculars, observed them carefully for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's really the case, did these pirates take the wrong medicine, and they actually rushed towards the main force of our army, no, they don't have binoculars, they can't see us." ”

"Big brother is right, these stupid pirates can't see us at all, so they crashed into us, and it is estimated that they can't see our army's small detachment, and they will soon be able to surround them."

Li Feiyu said excitedly.

Li An nodded and said, "The equipment of these pirates is too backward, but the team has been approaching them, and they will soon be discovered, but by the time they find out about the anomaly, it will be too late." ”

Li Feiyu smiled and suddenly asked, "Big brother, since the pirates can't see the squad, why did they suddenly accelerate just now, almost just after the squad's horsepower?" ”

Li An thought for a while, looked up at the flag on the ship, and then looked at the squad in the distance, and suddenly realized: "Our squad is now heading due north, and today's wind direction is a weak south wind, so the chimney of the squad is almost vertically upward, what is this like?" ”

"Like what? Like a chimney! ”

Li Feiyu wondered.

"Stupid, you're stupid, haven't you ever seen a dragon absorb water?"

Ang Lee said.

"I've seen it, but it's usually only a water jet, and it's not exactly the same as a chimney! There is still a difference when you look closely. ”

Li Feiyu said.

Li An smiled: "A chimney is a chimney, and a dragon sucks water is a dragon sucks water, of course it won't be exactly the same, but the pirates have probably seen a dragon sucking water, but have they ever seen a chimney?" ”

"Probably not! My Datang's steamships have always only been used to go to the Americas and Australia, and they haven't been to Malacca yet, so I guess they haven't seen them yet. ”

Li Feiyu said.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, the pirates have only seen the dragon absorbing water, but they have not seen the chimney, and the two are relatively close, how will they associate it, they can only associate it in the direction of the dragon absorbing water, but when our team gets closer, they will find that it is a few ships, haha!" ”

"What the big brother said is that these pirates must have used the black chimney as a dragon to suck water, it's so funny, these ignorant boys."

Li Feiyu burst out laughing.

In the pirate direction, the pirates of each ship are closely monitoring the chimneys in the distance, constantly analyzing and studying them.

Since they had never seen anything like this before, none of them could tell what it was, but out of awe of the ocean, they were very afraid of it, fearing that these unknown things would bring disaster to them.

"That's not right! How does it look more and more like a black pillar of smoke! ”

"Yes! The dragon has seen black and white when it absorbs water, and it is not so black! ”

"If you look closely, it's becoming more and more like a pillar of smoke, it seems to be really a pillar of smoke!"

As they got a little closer, the pirates realized that something was not right, and the dragon was getting more and more strange about the water, and wanted the black smoke.

The speed of the steam gunboat of the Tang Army squad is relatively fast, at least several times the speed of the pirate ship, so the progress of approaching the pirate is still very fast, and the huge hull is soon revealed.

"It's a big ship, a big ship bigger than ours."

"Are these ships on fire? Why is there such a big smoke. ”

"It won't be a fire, it should be cooking, there are many people on the ship, and the amount of cooking is very large, and the chimney of the ship's kitchen will naturally be relatively large, so there will be such a big chimney."

"It's strange that we've been here for so many years, and we've never seen a ship this big! What kind of ship is this! How can it be so big. ”

"Wait! If you get closer, you'll be able to see it clearly. ”

A group of pirates were idle and began to study the detachment of the Don Army in the distance.

"No, Tang Army, it's the gunboat of the Tang Army's naval division."

"The gunboats of the naval division of the Tang Army?"

"The flag is not clear to see, but none of the nearby countries have such a large ship, and only the Tang Dynasty sailors can have such a large ship."

"The speed of the ship is still so fast, it must be a Datang sailor, it seems that this cannot be wrong."

The pirates were terrified, but Ang Lee was happy from the podium, and now, the team was making a detour to the rear of the pirate ship at top speed, and it would not be long before it would be behind the pirates, and now, ten pirate ships could not escape.

In fact, even if you don't dodge just now, you can destroy the pirate ship directly, but in this way, in the process of chasing, the pirate ship will enter the vicinity of the busy waterway, so that Ang Lee's huge fleet will be discovered, and it will be difficult to complete the task of raiding Malacca.

"Give the order, adjust the direction, and go full speed to meet the pirates."

Li An gave the order domineeringly.

Soon, more than 100 large and small ships set off together and slaughtered straight ahead.

After the pirates identified the small detachment of the Tang Army's naval division, they were already a little frightened and didn't know what to do, and after suddenly discovering a larger number of Tang Army's naval divisions in front of them, they completely collapsed.

They suddenly faced the siege of more than 100 large ships of the Tang Army, and all of them were advanced ships with fast speed, it was impossible for them to escape, and there was no chance of winning if they went all out, and there were only two reliable roads in front of them, either fight to the death or surrender immediately.

"Directly ahead must be the main force of the Tang Army's naval division, how could they appear here, didn't they say that they lost to the Great King?"

"Needless to say, the king has long suspected the king, it must be that the king deceived the king, they did not defeat the Tang army at all, but were completely defeated."

"Oops, the Great King is going to betray the Great King, he must have united the Tang Army and prepared to deal with our Great King."

"That's right, Wolf Yi, this bastard, has already defected to the Tang Army, and they want to cooperate with the Tang Army's sailors to capture our king."

"What now, we are already surrounded and cannot send a message to the king."

"Don't be afraid, there are five Tang Army ships behind us, and we have ten ships, rush out with full horsepower and report to the king."

Several small leaders were unwilling to surrender and were bent on returning to report the news.

Compared with Datang's advanced steamships, the biggest advantage of the Corsair is that it is small and flexible, and the speed of making a U-turn is very fast, and it can soon go in the opposite direction.

The ten pirate ships scattered slightly and began to flee with all their might, preparing to break through the encirclement of the Tang army's small detachment.

However, their speed is too slow, which is a fatal flaw, which will cause them to not be able to escape at all, and they will soon be completely surrounded by the Tang army.

"Hahaha! The pirates still want to escape, can they escape? ”

Ang Lee laughed as he looked at the scattered and fleeing pirate ships.

"The whole army accelerated the pursuit and captured these ten pirate ships."

Li Feiyu ordered loudly.

The steam gunboat at the forefront of the Tang army immediately accelerated its pursuit when it heard the order, and the squad responsible for the roundabout at the highest speed also immediately approached in an all-round way.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The sound of shelling was heard in the distance, and after entering the firing range, the team took the lead in shelling the pirate ship, in order to deter the pirates on board and prevent them from continuing to escape, so as to achieve the goal of capture.

The effect of the shelling was still very good, after a series of shells fell into the corsair, some of the pirate ships suffered some injuries, and the pirates in charge of rowing also suffered a lot of casualties, and there were many damaged equipment on the ship, and the speed of the ship dropped sharply, and the ability to escape was almost completely lost.

The remaining pirate ships were quickly hit by shells and traumatized by varying circumstances, gradually slowing down their escape.

"Surrender! Surrender and avoid death. ”

"The Tang Army treats the prisoners preferentially, so surrender quickly!"

The small leader under the command of Wolf, who had just surrendered to the Tang Army, began to loudly persuade him to surrender.

The pirates were bombarded for a while, they were already broken, where did they dare to resist, and when they saw someone coming out to persuade them to surrender, most of them had the idea of surrendering, and a small number of pirates who were unwilling to surrender were also under the pressure of their companions, and finally agreed to surrender to the Tang army.
